#microsoftTeams autocorrecting #systemd to system is infuriating

i've never bonded interfaces on #linux before but now I have a machine with a 2.5Gbps and 1Gbps ethernet card, wiht the devices bonded together (active-passive) so that I have a redundant link that can tolerate one of the cables being disconnected.

ugh so i've managed to go 2 evenings with #ipv4 disabled on my laptop (#ipv6 only) but now I need to read tickets and commits on #btrfs repo on github so I can learn what support there is or will be in the future for disk groups.
So I managed two days of #ipv6only.

#lunar overshoes
someone should design #hightops #trainers that look like these. I would wear them.

@UnderEu Their owner's website serves IP6, maybe there's hope! https://www.microsoft.com

lol - the first website on the internet https://info.cern.ch/ supports #ipv6 but https://github.com doesn't. Embarrassing!

a note about /etc/nsswitch.conf and #ipv6

mdns4_minimal in /etc/nsswitch.conf unsurprisingly breaks .local type names in an ipv6 environment. Surprising behaviour such as ssh xxx.local timing out, but ssh -6 xxx.local working.

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname

Once mdns4_minimal is changed to mdns_minimal or mdns6_minimal, ssh xxx.local works without needing "-i6" parameter.

@rickvanrooijen ah ok - yes I am only testing my ability to reach the web interface via ipv6. I haven't tested mastodon.social's fediverse protocols.
Interestingly I could search for my profile on ipv6.camp, but couldn't search on mastodon.social for a profile on ipv6.camp - which I think is exactly the problem you're talking about!

Hi @MastodonEngineering and @staff, I'm on mastodon.social and would love to follow @[email protected], but I can't because his instance is IPv6-only. Is there any chance that mastodon.social could support federation with IPv6-only instances in the near future? This would improve federation for everyone. Thanks for your time!

@rickvanrooijen I'm posting via ipv6 to mastodon.social right now! It has A and AAAA DNS records - maybe something they added recently if it didn't work.

The sites I surveyed were just the first 13 websites I thought of. So my survey was quite biased!
